Oh, God.... are you kidding me?? You leave off here? I hate everybody, there are way too many cliffhangers in this fanfic world. This is a bad one, too. Talk about all the skeletons coming out of the closet, WOW. Can't wait to see what happens. Argh.

Hahaha! I'm sorry! Please don't throw garbage at me!
I'll try reeeeally hard to update soon. I haven't even started chapter 3 yet, but I like to get ideas based on the reviews :)

More coherent now. I like the possiblity of Pam having to deal with raging!Roy and not being afraid. Like she's had to handle him before - it's like there's this core of strength in her. She's not a complete coward. I even like the possibility that maybe she had withstood some of Roy's abusive tendencies. It's very dramatic. I can just imagine little Pam trying to pick up those 2 big guys and put them in her car then drive them home. I like that Roy didn't wait til Monday to have it out with Jim like in all the other stories. I like that Karen did do something a little bad, but at the worst possible moment. It's good. keep going, please.
Author's Response: Hey, another second review! Thanks! You just made me laugh because I never thought of Pam actually pulling Roy and Kenny into the car. Heh. Awesome. I'm glad you like unafraid!Pam. She definitely won't be whimpering or cowering in chapter 3. And I just think that after seeing the fight in the parking lot in the Dundies when Roy grabbed Pam's arm that he must have gotten rough with her before. Not to the point of actually hitting her maybe, but he's obviously a violent guy. Thank you for the review :)

Roy is hysterically funny/drunk here - nice work! Now get Pam and Jim together! ;-)
Author's Response: Thanks! Yay! I was worried about Roy, because I've never written him before. Actually, I've never really written "drunk" anyone before. As for Pam and Jim, if you ask Moxie, I will have to do it! Maybe not in chapter 3, but we'll see about chapter 4 :)

Author's Response: Thank you! I've never written Roy before and I'm still pretty new at Karen, so I'm glad you think I can write them well. I'll try to update soon!

AWESOME!!!!! Easily the best post-Cocktails fic ever!!!! I love the fight between Jim and Pam!!!! I love it all!!! I'm so excited for the next chapter. I have nothing constructive to say :-(
Author's Response: Oh wow, thanks! I've said this before, but I love writing Jim/Pam fights. I'm thinking that there might be another one in chapter 3...

Oh my gosh, this is awesome. I would love to see this on the show, just get it all out in the open. Drama, drama, drama. I love it.
Author's Response: Thank you! I feel like this probably won't happen on the show, since the writers tend to steer it away from lots of drama, but I really want a "get it all out in the open" moment. So thanks :)

Alright I read this with a slightly clearer mind and I love that Jim is charged at from every direction and he is just this pillar of confusion, not knowing what the hell is happening. And I also love that he starts off his call angrily, but that energy goes into being protective, even though he's still mad at her. Awesome.
And I like the conversation; it reads well and you can imagine all of them saying that, voice inflections and all. I liked Jim going Karen, mockingly, irritated, not in the mood to talk to her [he has reason to be irritated with her, but he doesn't realise that yet =P], I loved that - these two are not going to last.
The Dundies and Casino Night confusion conversation, especially, was great - you've gotta be fucking kidding me! - HALPERT!!
You really are awesome. If you take longer for an update, though, I'm going to have to find out your [e-mail] address.
Author's Response:
HA! Oh my gosh. Yes! Any review that ends with a threat like that is a great review in my book.
Thanks so much for rereading! I felt almost bad for inundating Jim like that. Super glad the Casino Night/Dundies confusion worked for you. I'm also glad that the conversations rang true, and I know that Jim doesn't usually turn mocking against people he likes, but he's done it to Pam before (ex "like your thoughts and feelings") so I thought it fit :) Thanks!

OK, words cannot describe, at all, how much I freaking love this fic - I would like things to go down this way [TWSS!] because the call and the voicemail and the fight, bloody hell.
And can I say that Kenny coming out of nowhere and yelling JET SKIS is pretty much the most brilliant, lovely, awesome thing I have ever seen? Jim going what the hell? who are you? made me snort-laugh.
I love this, seriously. To unbelievable amounts. And I can't wait to see where you're going with this in the next chapter.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much! I was very nervous because I'm never written a fight before. And I was really hoping that the Kenny thing worked because Kenny was like my favorite part of Cocktails. I loved how he just immediately started trashing the bar with Roy and I was like, "God, I hope he shows up to kick Jim's ass and starts screaming about jet skis." So yeah. Thanks :)

I loved that Jim stopped beign angry at Pam and started beign so protective. I am really enjoying this story. Please update soon, I can't wait to see what comes next!
Author's Response: Yeah, I just figured that Jim would start out angry because, hello, bleeding face'll do that to you, but then he'd realize that something really bad could have happened to Pam. Thanks!
